Travelers to Machu Picchu who overnight in Cuzco, Peru, increasingly have more luxury lodging options, such as the Palacio Nazarenas, which opened earlier this year after extensive renovations to the 16th century structure.

Souvenir

Paris: You may not be able to buy the Brooklyn Bridge, but tiny pieces of the Eiffel Tower are up for grabs. Inspired by a recent trip here, an American man bought a spiral staircase removed for safety reasons in 1983 and has turned it into a line of commemorative jewelry. www.korbella.com.

New hotels

Peru: Machu Picchu visitors can now acclimate in greater comfort in Cuzco. The all-suite Palacio Nazarenas opened in a 16th century convent this year, a JW Marriott debuted in the city center last month and Palacio del Inka remains open while the mansion's rooms are renovated. www.peru.travel.

Skiing

Canada: British Columbia's Red Mountain Resort is opening nearly 1,000 acres of terrain on Grey Mountain. A nine-passenger snowmobile bus will shuttle skiers up the peak this season, with a quad chair lift coming next season. www.redresort.com.
